I hate those stories. They make it seem like sitting down to a holiday meal or enjoying passed hor devours and a glass of wine at a Christmas party is a terrible thing.

It’s not.

The holidays are about togetherness. Celebrating. Enjoying the company of friends and loved ones.

The holidays are not about worrying about how many calories you ingested or thinking about how many minutes you’ll need to log on the Peloton to burn off dessert before its even served.

I get it though. Last year was the first Thanksgiving I didn’t head to a gym, barre studio, or spin studio to ensure I started my day in a calorie deficit. I even ran a 5K one year, and y’all know how I feel about running.

I want to let you in on a secret.

One day of holiday eating won’t ruin your progress. A few days of holiday eating won’t ruin your progress. Healthy living is about long term consistency, not perfection.

That’s why I’m launching my first ever group coaching program this holiday season.

Strong By Sarah is NOT a weight loss challenge. You may lose weight. You may not. You WILL learn how to navigate the holiday season without guilt, without thinking about how you simply must spend an hour on the treadmill as soon as the last dish is washed because your pants feel a bit tight.

When you join the Strong By Sarah Four Week Holiday Challenge, you get:

3 workouts each week (in the gym and at home options)

Nutrition coaching and weekly habit challenges

Access to me via email

Access to a private Facebook group

Facebook Lives with me each week

10% of each enrollment fee will go to a fund to help pay off student lunch debts. Too often, news headlines tell of students being denied lunch due to owing school debts. In many cases, school lunch is the one guaranteed meal a child may have that day and absolutely no child should go hungry. Children facing hunger may struggle in school and are more likely to repeat a grade in elementary school, experience developmental impairments, or have more social and behavioral problems according to Feeding America.

That means $7.90 of each enrollment fee will go towards paying off lunches at a local school. Depending on the school system, that could be as many as four lunches per person. It may not seem like a lot, but a little makes a big difference, and one life changed is worth it.
